Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps her Department is taking to better promote the Access to Work scheme.

Access to Work is promoted to a range of business leaders through the Disability Confident campaign. As part of the ongoing Access to Work campaign partnership managers will be engaging with local contacts to promote the support available.

We also promote the scheme through engagement with partners and stakeholders such as Remploy, as well as through other government departments and public sector bodies. We may also use some elements of paid for marketing where appropriate, although our spending plans have not yet been finalised.
